Loving FatherHelp us remember the birth of Jesus,that we may share in the song of the angels,the gladness of the shepherds,and worship of the wise men.

Close the door of hateand open the door of love all over the world.Let kindness come with every giftand good desires with every greeting.Deliver us from evil by the blessingwhich Christ brings,and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.

May the Christmas morningmake us happy to be thy children,and Christmas evening bring us to our bedswith grateful thoughts,forgiving and forgiven,for Jesus’ sake.
